    How well does Stable Diffusion perform on Macbook M4? How much RAM is recommended for UI/UX designers at minimum?

    Can the base model M4 run Stable Diffusion? I tried using M1 (8GB/128GB) but it couldn't handle it at all. I'm wondering how the base M4 (16GB/512GB) would perform? Or what are the recommended M4 specifications? If anyone has experience running Stable Diffusion on other M4 configurations, please...

    12" MacBook V1 Gold vs. V2 Gold vs. 13" M1 Gold (is the V2 gold different than the M1 Gold?)

    Hi hope all are well! As you can see here the 12" MacBook had two "Golds", the V1 Gold and the V2 gold, which was very short in production. Very interesting to me as it's a lesser known fact. Then, we saw gold on the airs and M1s forward. So the main question here is, is the V2 gold or 'warm...

    Does your MacBook Pro bends?

    I have just bought the new MacBook Pro m4 Pro and I am worried about a silly thing I have noticed that really bugs me. With the lid opened, the left bottom corner and the oposite one (making a diagonal) feels more soft than the other corners. For example, I could lift from these corners only...

    Touch Bar should have been ADDED, not REPLACED

    So MacBook's unpopular Touch Bar is completely gone.... I think it was unique gimmick with something potential and it should have been ADDED to the full keyboard, instead of REPLACING the physical keys. What do you think?

    MacBook only slowly charges when shutdown, doesn't recognise charger.

    I have a problem with my MacBook Air M1. It stopped charging when it's on and doesn't even see the charger connected. But when it's off, it's charging slowly (~50% overnight) and the device makes a sound when plugged in. The problem started when my adapter died while charging. One of the ports...

    Al Dente for a student?

    Hey everyone, I’m going to get a Macbook soon. Since this is my first Mac machine I’ve been doing some research, and as if there weren’t enough things to be aware of I found out about Battery Cycles ;) Now I’ve been doing some research about the topic and found out that quite a handful of people...

    Uneven Local Dimming in HDR on MacBook Pro M3 Mini-LED Display

    I've noticed that in dark scenes, certain areas appear much darker than others, like shadows within the dark scenes, and it looks unnatural. Is this a characteristic of the Mini-LED display, or could it be a software/hardware issue? If you look closely at the images, you’ll notice these darker...

    Work Messaging on iMessage with two eSIMs cumbersome for anyone else?

    Is anyone else frustrated with the current mechanics of using two eSIMs when one of them is for work? Specifically, if I'm using my MacBook to respond to a work text then it automatically switches my line to my personal which defeats any privacy purpose I had to get a work phone number. My...

    M1 MacBook Air screen fading to white when lid is at certain angles

    This started 6 months ago, and back then the fading happened at a very small angle when the lid is almost fully open or closed. Mostly just an inconvenience as restarting fixed that issue for some duration. However overtime the angles that would make the screen fade out become larger and...

    Seriously? 8GB used to be enough.. it's becoming less and less the case

    That doesn't even add up near to 8GB :D Meanwhile, Apple still sells base models just shy off a thousand with 8GB equipped. I gotta say, owning this laptop since new it's probably frozen on me less than 10 times. So overall great stability.. however messages like these worry me for the future.
